Although I have setup sendmail v5.x (with SunOS 4.x) to use my UUCP
account, I cannot do the same with the FreeBSD v2.1.6 release which
uses Sendmail v8.x.

I have read the README, the sendmail-faq and some of op.txt, but I
cannot find the information I need. I really would like to use the
*.mc macro files to generate a sendmail.cf, but I couldn't find
much information about all commands that can go in the file, the
order of the commands etc. Especially the information related to UUCP
is not so much.

My problem is that all outgoing mail should use my UUCP domain as
origin (sun3.iaf.nl) and not the TCP/IP domainname of our LAN (which
is not connected to the internet). 

If anybody can send me a sample configuration file for a UUCP-only
node (the uucpproto.mc doesn't work as it does not masquerade) or
point me (or mail me) to information about this, I would really 
appreciate that.

Regards,
